review 1: This was a very subdued and emotion filled book. Our protagonist Hamaguchi is a young man who at first lacks much motivation or direction in his life. He just lets life carry him following it wherever it leads, but lacking conviction or ambition. Inspiration comes to him in the form of a young girl, then his life begins to change. In some ways it was similar to the popular Shounen Jump title "Bakuman" as it is about a young manga assistant trying to get beyond just filling in the blacks and drawing backgrounds. But, unlike "Bakuman's" characters Hamaguichi lacks conviction and drive at first.My only criticism was the the novel seemed to end very abruptly, I wonder if there is or will be a sequel.
review 2: Un giovane disegnatore finisce, dopo varie peripezi... moree lavorative, impiegato come assistente nello studio di un famoso mangaka. Siamo sul finire degli anni '60, un periodo di grande fermento artistico anche per il mondo del fumetto giapponese. Il protagonista - tra mille peripezie, bevute, delusioni, invidie, nottate passate a lavorare e amori andati male - finirà col crescere diventando adulto e fumettista a sua volta. Il tratto è elegante e molto curato, forse paragonato ai manga contemporanei risulta poco "dinamico", ma per me è veramente un bell'esercizio di stile. less
